Pilot Project Program in Hemostasis and Vascular Biology (P3HVB)

The VMI Pilot Project Program in Hemostasis and Vascular Biology (P3HVB) is intended to attract investigators new to the general areas of hemostasis and vascular biology by seeding innovative and translational research projects that have the potential to open new avenues for critical research in the general areas of:

The program will support grants of $25,000 for one year duration. Applications for new projects may request up to $25,000. If a previously awarded project is successful in demonstrating that the area of research is important and innovative, the investigator may apply for competitive renewals.

University of Pittsburgh faculty members at the levels of assistant/research assistant professor are eligible to apply as principal investigators. Instructors, fellows, and postdoctoral researchers may also apply as principal investigators if they can demonstrate a track record of research success, if there is a research mentoring plan from a qualified faculty member at the rank of associate professor (not research track) or higher, and if there is a commitment from the faculty member in whose laboratory the instructor/fellow/postdoctoral researcher works that all necessary laboratory resources will be available for the proposed project (see below for relevant instructions). Collaboration between VMI member and non-VMI member investigators is encouraged.
